Fourth-Group Structures

The optical activity in above type of pyramidal compounds is explained on the basis that the unshared pair of electrons is analogous to a fourth group and is therefore different from others. Their structure approaches a tetrahedral configuration with different groups. The case of tertiary amines... [Pg.128]

The procedure described above can now he repeated. First the reaction chamber is washed with a solution containing the third unit to be added (the third amino acid). This amino acid is also protected with either a Boc or Fmoc protective group. When the third unit is added to the existing two-unit structure, a three-unit (tripeptide) product is obtained. The protecting group is then removed and a fourth group added to permit the process to continue. The process can then be repeated as often as desired. [Pg.140]

The fourth group consists of the three Dewaf structures and is also relatively unimportant. [Pg.210]

A further structural possibility, which exists in the elements of the fourth group, is a lattice infinitely extended in space in which each atom is surrounded by four others in a tetrahedron, and in which the... [Pg.201]

The double-helical structures of native A- and B-amyloses are found in the fourth group. It is interesting that in both h as well as the d and dyg spacings, they are comparable with the structure of amylose triacetate I (ATAI). In part, this may arise because the packing of the bulky acetate substituents in ATAI is similar to the close-packing of two amylose chains into a double helix. In the latter, one chain may act as the "substituent" for the other chain. At any rate, all three structures contain similar, cylindrical-shaped helices. Somewhat unexpectedly, the distances cL and d-yo are very close for the two native polymorphs, even though their unit cells and packing are... [Pg.464]

A third group of stabilizers are the surfactants (or amphiphiles). These consist of a non-polar part such as a hydrocarbon chain, and a polar part such as an ion or hydroxyl group. Such molecules also tend to accumulate on interfaces, with the polar part in a polar phase and the apolar part in the less polar phase. A fourth group are the polymers, which we also discuss separately. Structures are often stabilized by several mechanisms. [Pg.264]

A subsidiary goal from the outset was to identify those systems in which the lone-pair electrons present in these subvalent species show no stereochemical activity that is, in which the fourth-group atoms occupy sites of perfect symmetry in the solid state. Our search brought forth various scattered examples of such structural systems, and reading of their unusual properties heightened our interest. However, with the fortuitous synthesis by C. Janiak in our own laboratory... [Pg.297]

Certain subvalent, fourth-group compounds undergo single or a series of first-order phase transformations at increasing temperatures from their expected distorted phases to give successively more symmetrical structures ... [Pg.319]

Enzymes adopt conformations that are structurally and chemically complementary to the transition states of the reactions that they catalyze. Sets of interacting amino acid residues make up sites with the special structural and chemical properties necessary to stabilize the transition state. Enzymes use five basic strategies to form and stabilize the transition state (1) the use of binding energy, (2) covalent catalysis, (3) general acid-base catalysis, (4) metal ion catalysis, and (5) catalysis by approximation. Of the enzymes examined in this chapter, three groups of enzymes catalyze the addition of water to their substrates but have different requirements for catalytic speed and specificity, and a fourth group of enzymes must prevent reaction with water. [Pg.394]

Sulfonamides are hydrolyzed more slowly than amides of carboxylic acids examination of the structures involved shows us what probably underlies this difference. Nucleophilic attack on a trigonal acyl carbon (Sec. 20.4) is relatively unhindered it involves the temporary attachment of a fourth group, the nucleophilic reagent. Nucleophilic attack on tetrahedral sulfonyl sulfur is relatively hindered it involves the temporary attachment of a /// group. The tetrahedral... [Pg.757]

Other proteins not included in the first three categories. This fourth group contains one enzyme, a transglutaminase, one adhesion and carrier protein, and fibrinogen, the structural protein of the fibrin clot. [Pg.842]
